West Huntspill Primary Academy
Highbridge, TA9 3QE · Somerset · primary school
110th of 156 primary schools in Somerset we can score, 219 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 2.9/10 against 1,372 of them, against 2.3/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 45.0 · 13 | 40% | 0.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 45.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (2.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join well-being, forest school, and gardening clubs. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 102 pupils in a building with 90 places, meaning it is over capacity by 12. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for new starters when it is operating over its stated capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who are not yet meeting the expected standard in maths? How are the forest school and gardening sessions integrated into the weekly timetable?
